X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanningelectron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) techniques were utilizedto characterize the structure, morphology and fluorescence performance of the obtained powders.The results demonstrated that the prepared samples were well crystallized with triclinic phaseCaHPO4 structure and particle-like morphology. Photoluminescence measurements indicated thatCaHPOa:Tb3+ had a strong absorption peak at 370 nm and exhibited characteristic emissions withseveral sharp peaks corresponding to the transitions 5D4-7FJ (jr = 6-3) of Tb3+. Moreover, theluminescence optimum concentration for CaHPO4:Tb3+ was determined to be 11 mol%, whichmight be a promising green-emitting ohosohor for display applications.展开更多

X-ray diffraction (...Single-crystalline tellurium nanorods were synthesized through the reduction of Na2TeO4 by hydrazine monohydrate, in the absence of surfactants, in an aqueous ammonia solution at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the composition and morphology of the products. The concentration of the OH ion has a significant influence on the morphology of the products and is found to be responsible for tailoring the crystal growth dynamically: the concentration of Te blocking in the solution is reduced via increasing the concentration of the OH^- ion, and subsequently the nucleation rate of Te is suppressed and Te nanorods gradually grow because of the inherently anisotropic structure of Te. New generation tellurium atoms add to the surface of the particles during the long period of reaction.展开更多

Therefore, it is considered a promising technology to treat chromiumcontaining wastewater. However, the process has not been extensively applied in industry due to its high synthesis temperature. In this paper, the feasibility of chromite synthesis at room temperature was comprehensively studied. The effects of critical factors on the effluent quality and the crystallization behavior and stability of the synthetic products were investigated. Results showed that the removal ratio of chromium from wastewater was over 99.0%, and the chromium concentration in the supernatant reached the sewage discharge standard after undergoing the ferrite process at room temperature. Increases in the aeration rate, stirring rate, and reaction time were favorable for the formation of stable chromite. The particles obtained by the ferrite process at room temperature were characterized by a compact structure, and the maximum size of the particles reached 52 μm. Chromium gradually entered the spinel crystal structure during the synthesis process, and the molecular formula of the synthetic chromite might be Fe3-xCrxO4, in which x was approximately 0.30. The path of the microscopic reaction was proposed to illuminate the synthesis mechanism of chromite under room temperature conditions. The present study has laid the foundation for the industrial application of the ferrite process in the purification and utilization of chromium-containing wastewater.展开更多

However, there is plenty of fossil energy consumed in the preparation of the catalysts,which results in a heavy pollution. Therefore, it is much desired but challenging to fabricate high-efficiency catalysts without extra energy input. Herein, we used a facile one-pot room-temperature method to synthesize a highly efficient electrocatalyst of nickel iron layered double hydroxide grown on Ni foam(NiFe LDH/NF) for oxygen evolution reaction(OER). The formation of the NiFe LDH follows a dissolutionprecipitation process, in which the acid conditions by hydrolysis of Fe^3+ combined with NO3^- could etch the NF to form Ni^2+. Then, the obtained Ni^2+ was co-precipitated with the hydrolysed Fe^3+ to in situ generate NiFe LDH on the NF. The NiFe LDH/NF exhibits excellent OER performance with a low potential of about 1.411 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE) at a current density of 10 m A cm^-2, a small Tafel slope of 42.3 mV dec^-1 and a significantly low potential of ~1.452 V vs. RHE at 100 mA cm^-2 in 1 mol L^-1 KOH. Moreover, the material also keeps its original morphology and structure over 20 h. This energy-efficient strategy to synthesize NiFe LDH is highly promising for widespread application in OER catalyst industry.展开更多

The reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinon with POCl 3 and n-BuNH 2 afforded to pentaalkyl-guanidine(2), which reacted with CH 3I, generated hexaalkylguanidium(3).

The results showed that both compounds 4 and 5 were room-temperature ionic liquids. The structures of these compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and MS spectra data. Compounds 4 and 5 were found to have better solublities in organic solvents and better thermal stabilities.展开更多

文摘Rapid synthesis of metal–organic frameworks(MOFs),especially high-valence MOFs at roomtemperature without external energy,is a challenging topic.In this work,a stable radical solution has been discovered.Various MOFs with versatile metal nodes and ligands were rapidly synthesized at room temperature in the absence of external energy.Especially,MOFs with conjugated ligands achieved instantaneous architecture(in less than 1 s)and quantitative yield.Radicals in the solution play a crucial role in the accelerated kinetics,and the new radical route paves a cyclic pathway for the MOF synthesis.The mechanism has been thoroughly investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance,in situ proton nuclear magnetic resonance,X-ray absorption spectra,in situ small-angle X-ray scattering-wide-angle X-ray scattering,and density functional theory calculations.
文摘The synthesis and properties of a novel room-temperature ionic liquid hexaalkylguanidium salts 4 and 5 were reported. The reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinon with POCl 3 and n-BuNH 2 afforded to pentaalkyl-guanidine(2), which reacted with CH 3I, generated hexaalkylguanidium(3). The hexaalkylguanidium salts 4 and 5 were synthesized by the reaction of hexaalkylguanidium(3) with KPF 6, AgBF 4 respectively. The results showed that both compounds 4 and 5 were room-temperature ionic liquids. The structures of these compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and MS spectra data. Compounds 4 and 5 were found to have better solublities in organic solvents and better thermal stabilities.
